Since Kel-Tec started shipping the new PMR-30
auto pistols a few weeks ago, shooters have been looking for
good concealment and field holsters in which to carry that dandy
pistol. The PMR-30 can fit pretty well into holsters that are
built to fit Glock medium-frame
pistols, but now Rob Leahy of Simply Rugged Holsters has begun
building high-quality leather holsters specifically for the
Kel-Tec PMR-30. Robís Sourdough Pancake is a very versatile
holster, offering good retention and protection in the field or
on the trail. I have used Robís Sourdough Pancake for several
years, and find it to work quite well. The Cuda is very similar
to the Sourdough Pancake, but is built for autoloaders only, and
carries the PMR-30 comfortably while offering excellent
concealment. The main difference between the two is that the
Cuda has a piece of leather between the back of the slide and
the shooter, to protect both the skin and the gun. The Cuda can
be worn either strong-side on the hip, or as a cross draw for
wear while seated in a vehicle or on an ATV or horse for quick
access. The Cuda pulls the butt of the grip in tightly against
the body for easy concealment under a shirt or jacket. Rob is
building a matching magazine pouch for carrying a spare magazine
along with the PMR-30 as well.

Rob is also building a dandy little trim
Range Master holster for the PMR-30. This is a fine choice for
field or concealment, but does not offer the option of cross
draw as does the Cuda. The Range Master shown here has some
really good-looking border stamping, and also a retention screw
to adjust the pull tension while drawing the weapon.

As I stated in the review of the PMR-30, it
is an excellent weapon that fills a niche that badly needed
filling. Whenever I go back into the woods on a tractor or in
the Rhino, I always carry a sidearm, usually a 22 Magnum
revolver. Now that I have an excellent holster for the PMR-30,
it will likely ride with me more often than not, and I will
carry it in the Simply Rugged Cuda. The leather holsters from
Simply Rugged complete the package, offering comfortable carry,
good protection for the pistol, excellent concealment, all at an
affordable price. Simply Rugged holsters are hand-crafted from
top quality leather in the USA. To order a Simply Rugged
